Product Information

The success of blockbusters such as Alexander and Gladiator, and sell-out museum shows such as The First Emperor reflect a resurgence of interest today in ancient empires. But what do we really know about these ancient powers? What is the truth behind the movie glamour and the exhibition splendour? A distinguished team of internationally renowned scholars surveys the great empires from 1600 BC to AD 500, from the ancient Mediterranean to China, taking in the empires of New Kingdom Egypt, the Hittites, Assyria and Babylonia, Achaemenid through to Sassanid Persia, Athens and Alexander, Rome, India and Qin and Han China. Each chapter conveys the main narrative of events, their impact on ancient societies and the dominant rulers who shaped that history, from Ramesses II in Egypt to Chandragupta in India, from Rome's Augustus to China's Shi Huang di. Exploring the very nature of empire itself, the authors show how profoundly imperialism in the distant past influenced the 19th-century powers and the modern United States. Special pictorial features highlight the artistic and architectural achievements of the imperial craft-workers. Here such masterpieces as the Parthenon, the Begram ivories, Sasanian silver and Han Jade and lacquer grave goods shine in their true cultural setting. Great cities come to life: Athens, Rome, Hattusa, Babylon, Alexandria. Superbly illustrated and comlete with maps and timelines, The Great Empires of the Ancient World is an original and highly appealing work that makes these past societies resonate with, and fully relevant to, the modern age.
